Surrender specifically is a combatant concept (defecting and espionage are not), non-combatants don’t surrender under military law, they migrate or seek asylum. E.g. to surrender you must be a combatant in this case an active service member.
Universal conscription doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means. It’s simply a mandatory service term, not permanent combatant status. Much like in the ROK, Thailand, etc., eligible citizens serve a set period then return to civilian life, they aren’t subject to surrender laws before or after their term.
I understand this but am not familiar with the specifics. In Israel, for example, I know people remain on reserve duty long past their conscription period.
This isn’t relevant anyway the fact is the laws you posted are seemingly entirely normal laws that are common around the world, and you were wrong that they aren’t allowed to travel abroad by the government.
No reserves are not active combatants unless called upon just like in every country that has reservese (I can’t think of one that doesn’t). And even if it did the law itself as written is perfectly inline with international norms the fact they have universal conscription or a possible large reserve force doesn’t change that.
No that’s not at all what I said.
The examples you site as comparable to 2 are military laws.

Sure, but in a country with universal conscription I’m not sure that’s exclusive to the military context.

How is that not relevant? If people are I’m reserve services presumably this law would apply to them.
